How many times do you guys think Eli Roth jerked off to this movie? This is a fun, grimey “horror” film about a hook-up who isn’t picking up the signals that it’s time to go. I put horror in quotes because there is only one relatively tame death and the tension is Shiva Baby level for the first hour. Things only take a deadly turn after the gals return from The Greyhound station. Even then, it’s really nothing more than something like a sleepover with someone who forgot to take her meds. Watch this over Knock, Knock. This film has a 10 minute sex scene with porn music, but it’s still exponentially classier than the Eli Roth remake. Addendum: The intro title sequence is pretty cool. And, George’s phone conversations with his son are a lot of fun.
